Financial Aid Policies

The staff at Concordia University Chicago’s Office of Financial Aid is committed to the highest standards of professional conduct. As members of the National Association of Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA), we abide by their code of conduct by maintaining exemplary standards of professional conduct in all aspects of carrying out our responsibilities.

Federal and state governments require that each college have Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for determining continued eligibility for student financial aid. SAP standards measure both the qualitative and quantitative progress of course work completed. SAP includes the following three elements: grade point average, course completion rate and maximum time frame. SAP is reviewed at the end of each payment period.
